I’m drawing with a pen and there are bubbles at the corners
.
•
For perfect corners when using a pen, go to the
Send to be Cut
window and select
Pen Mode
so that
Blade Offset
is set to 0. You do not need an offset for pens (or other tools like embossers and
engravers).

My cut started out fine but by the end of the cut, it’s not cutting through the material.
•
Make sure the blade holder housing doesn’t have any bits of material inside of it.
•
Make sure the screw on the blade holder seat is hand-
tight so that the blade holder isn’t slipping
upwards during the cut.
•
Make sure the cutting mat is clean and sticky and the material is pressed down completely, so that the
material remains stabilized during the cut.
•
Make sure the blade isn’t cutting too deep into the mat. This can sometimes cause the material to be
pulled up and away from the mat as the blade releases from the plastic it is cutting.
•
Try increasing the Force by ~ 5
– 10.

My cut is clean in some places but not in others. Why am I not getting consistent cutting?
•
Make sure your material is pressed firmly onto a clean and sticky mat (assuming you are cutting a
material such as paper or cardstock).
•
Your material may require two
passes if it’s not homogenous or if it is heavily textured. Sometimes
intricate shapes also cut better with two passes.
•
Also, if the material has been exposed to humidity, then it will become difficult to cut in one pass. You
can dry both paper and cardstock using a blow dryer or in a very low-temperature oven.
•
If you are cutting vinyl without a cutting mat, check the cutting strip to make sure it is still in good
condition.
____________________
I have the outside edges of my chipboard completely taped but I’m not getting clean cuts, even after lots of
passes.
•
Taping the edges prevents shifting of the chipboard but it’s not enough for stabilizing. You need to
thoroughly press the entire surface of the chipboard onto a clean and sticky mat. Using a brayer is
recommended.
